Found Flowers

Tuesday morning I woke up, opened my eyes and a super cool idea beamed down into my mind. I immediately got up, sat at my desk and went to work. I'm fascinated with watercolor botanicals, but am completely incapable of reproducing any known flower accurately, let alone with such a fickle medium such as watercolors (my nemesis). So instead of chasing that idea, what if I LET the flowers find me instead?

Here's a super quick step out showing what happened next over my sloppy watercolor painting with a little help from my fine-liners and colored pencils.

I am SO HAPPY with this result! They actually look like flowers to me! This feels like such a cool win, and gave me such beautiful moments of zen flow, so relaxing. Here's another view of the final picture:

Here's a close-up for you to inspect:

I'll just have to try this again, stay tuned!
